The Canadian Marijuana laws are only benefiting criminals who continue to profit in billions of dollars while Canadian taxpayers continue to pay all the legal bills for the enforcement of a medicinal plant that the majority of Canadians use and want. Politicians must take a serious look at legalization and regulation and remove the criminal element that will only continue to make profits on the backs of taxpayers and the taking of lives and destroying families. My heart goes out to the families of the four young officers and to all police officers in Canada who are grieving their loss today. Dave Ryan, Hazelton - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
